Hey, I bought my iPhone in September 2010, back then I noticed when I pressed the backplate, something clicks, like theres space between the backplate and the inside hardware.
A few days ago, a friend of mine bought an iPhone 4 too, and I noticed that his is solid, nothing clicks or moves. It's not much of a problem, but that click drives me crazy.
Is it normal? Could I swap my iPhone for a new one?

Thanks a lot!
 
mine does this as well, but not all the time. when i brought it in it wouldn't click so i told the guy that i would bring it back if it happened again (it did ). so i got to go back soon.
 
My first iPhone 4 (from launch day) did this pretty much all the time. I just got used to it. However, I had a weird issue with my Power button and took it in for service: the replacement iPhone 4 (which I happen to know is actually a new unit, not a recondition) does this as well, but only very occasionally. So I think it's just random.

Apple won't replace your unit for that specific issue, no. If something else goes wrong, they will.
